An Incident of the Presidents Visit TO that

An Incident or the Presidents Visit 10 that City,
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A great event
has come and passed away. The President of
a united country has honored Chattanooga with
his presence and has been cordially greeted by
the people, without regard 10 party utilization
In drenching rain on Monday last there stood
in line scores aud hundreds of those who wore
the blue TO welcome and honor the President of
the United States; not the man, but the high
Office he fills, which has been made illustrious
by a long line of brilliant predecessors and to
which the Union veterans are as loyal to-day
as in the days Of trial and danger. Although
this man was not our choice, he is our Presi-
dent, and the blue has Wed with the gray in
doing him honor.
ltwas the earnest desire and the oft-expressed
wish that nothing might occur during this re-
ceptiOn 20 mar the harmony Of the occasion !;
and in the main this was gratifed, excepting
one remarkable incident which is calculated 10
arouse the just resentment of the whole Union
element Of the South. With rare bad taste the
managers Of the decorations had the portrait
of the President surrounded by pictures of
Robert L. Lee,-"only this, aud nothing more"
and il is evident that while on Southern soil
tho President has been entirely in the hands
OF his friends Of the late Confederacy; but no.

In this busting, prosperous and cosmopolitan
city Of Chattanooga. we have for many years,
with particularly loud protestatons Of sincerity,
been shaking hands across the bloody chasm y
and IL seems maryelOusly strange that, on this

If the Presidents portrait had been lanked on

A GALLANT RECORD.



EpIroR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In looking
over your valuable paper fail TO see that our
regiment, the Goth Conn.,, is mentioned as
belonging 10 the Third Brigade, Third Diyis-
ion, Twentieth Corps, on the Atlanta campaign.
At Cassville our regiment and the 10Th Mich.
captured the town in advance of our own army,
aud i'm the front of $4,000 Johnnies, after the
rebel Gen. Johnston had said 10 his troops, in
general orders. that they should retreat no
further. Any how, we held the town till MORN
ing, when old Gen. Joe Hooker came up the
street with an Orderly, said we had done nobly,
and ordered that Cassyille be inscribed on our
flag.
At Resaca, n short time before, we re-took
the Fourteenth Corps lines captured the night
before by the rebels, and, with old Joe Hooker,
captured the three feldpieces on the rebel line
Of works.
At Peach Tree Creek the Goth Conn. played
an important part in the battle. Crossing the
creek at noon, we shortly became engaged on
one Of the hottest days of July that / ever saw,
and il was one Of the hottest infantry fights
that ever was fought during the war. We
were relieved by the both n. Y, of our own
brigade. about 9 p. IN. The Fourth Corps was
on our left also On the 22d we double uicked
TO the relief of Mcpherson.
/ was also one of 10 skirmishers that adj
vanced up Marietta street when the Mayor
came 10 surrender the city of Atlanta TO a
squad Of 100 men of the Third Brigade, Third
Division, Twentieth Corps Col. Coburn COM
manding.
As we came back to Col Coburn the Mayor
said 10 him the Colonel), "What force have
your" looking toward the boys rs they lay in
single file in the edge Of the bushes. The Colo
mel said, " / have the whole of the Twentieth
Corps Gen. Slocum commanding" The Mayor
said calling him GeneralD, II will surrender
the city Of Atlanta TO you at p. m. the I'd of
September"
well remember how proud we felt as we
marched TO the depot and stacked our guns on
the platform, waiting for the rest of our corps
to como up, which they did in the evening.
Now, comrades If you don't admit that we
were there from this. will white out some
hams and nutmegs and send them out for you
to digest
Most Of the Generals Of any note came from
Connecticut-or their ancestors did-Grant,
Sherman, Lyon, Sedgwick, Hawley, Terry and

CEDAR CREEK.
Talk from the Famous Vermont Brigade.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: feel sorry
for Comrade Andersen, Of Huntington, Ind,
about the Sixth Corps az Cedar Creek.
The Sixth Corps was on the right, next 10
the cavalry, and was up aud ready that event
ful morning Of Oct. 10, 1864, long before they
received any orders; but when we did receive
them, il was to move by the left flank 10 our left
and rear, TO stem the tide which we did-and We
had 10 work 10 do il. The old Sixth Corps was
equal TO the emergency.
About the corps losing six cannon, find no
official report to this effect; but If we did, we
got them back and more with them. Some new
guns were sent TO Little Phil" Gen. Sheri-
dam by Gen. Lee in care of Gen. Jubal Early.
This is without saying anything of the other
things received from Gen. Early that day.
Now, rs 10 the fighting at Cedar Creek that
day of Oct 10, 1854 have heard some Of our
boys say that Gen. Wright said 20 Gen Sheri-
dan, on meeting him on the latter's arrival " /
am whipped" The reply Of Gen. Sheridan
was: " III you are your men arc not" TheOld
adage Of Blood will tell proved true that
time
As to the fighting after Gen. Sheridan arriv-
ed on the field, have this much 10 say: think
that the other corps Eighth and Nineteenth
did just as good fighting as the Sixth, but

was the exposure and exertion in all climates

Of the old soldiers, and more are now disabled
from these reasons than from wounds. The
country needs now more than ever to be liberal
in pensiOning the men who defended the
Union, as men crippled from exposure and dis
ease are less able to support themselves than
others with only slight wounds or the loss of
leg or an arm.

steamer headed for shore and ran aground. The
seth wadcd ashore, made a charge as soon as
formed in line and took the battery. As this
can be proved, will drop this subject and take
up the other. Albertson says the seth did not
cross in pontoon boats at Fredericksburg. The
whole regiment was never detailed 10 do small
jobs like that. There was just 100 men of the
seth that crossed in four pontoon boats and dis
lodged the enemy. Then the pontoon bridge
was finished, and the rest Of the regiment crossed
the bridge. There was battery to the right
of the dug road and above the old house that
stood in the range of the pontoOn bridge, that

They got all the tobacco they wanted after they
crossed the bridge. The rebels threw boxes of

BRIEF TELEGRAPHLC NEWS.
Indian Education


WASHINGTON, October 27.-From the
annual report of John Riley, superin-
tendent of Indian schools, to the Secre-
tary of the Interior, it appears that the
aggregate expenditure by the govern
ment for the education of Indian
children during the year, was 81 ,095 ,379,
of which $7I9 1873 was expended on
account of government boarding
schools and $30S .299 for the support
and education of pupils at the con-
tract boarding schools, Riost of which are
under the control of religious denomi-
nations. The whole number of
Indisn children between the ages
of 6 and &c years is 1891; of
this number IA 932, or about
35H per cent. attended school some
porlion of the year. A uniform sys-
TEN OF text books, study and teaching
OF English only are recommended. The
report says that too much stress can
not be laid upon the Importance of
preparing native teachers, and to this
end suggests that a normal school de-
partment be established at some OF the
large schools. The superintendent
makes the following recommendations:
That an industrial boarding school be
tablIshed near the Missouri River.
adjacent to the Sioux reservation; that
the schools be provided for tribes in
Nevada, and that q com mission be ap-
pointed and empowered to make q
thorough examination of the whole
subject of Indian education.
